The team then move on to Bangladesh where the ICC World Twenty20 takes place from 16 March-6 April.

"We need to get confidence back up, but most of these guys just need two weeks away from the game," Giles added.

Asked about Flower's decision to step down, he said: "I had enough on my plate here so it was a bit of a shock. At the moment I've got enough to focus on with the West Indies coming up and the World Cup before I think about anything else.

"I was very proud and privileged to play for England, I've enjoyed my time coaching the one-day side and I would love to do the whole thing. You can really get your teeth into it, get the right culture and disciplines in place, and I think I'll be throwing my hat into the ring.

"There will be other guys out there who are interested. It's one of the biggest jobs in cricket and I need to make sure I'm at the front of the list.

"It is a big commitment but I'm a believer, as Andy was, that one person should do everything. It would be easier for the captains and the players as well to get one message."

On the possible selection of Kevin Pietersen - one of the players rested for the one-day matches in Australia - Giles added: "We've got to pick the squad [to face West Indies] this week so I can't answer that.

"No-one is guaranteed a place on that plane - we've got some tough decisions to make."
